About me

My name is Brian T. Wightman. I provide technological solutions.

org-mode

Org-mode is an emacs-lisp module that implements an interface to a file format that is essentially an outline on steroids. The file format is now being processed by languages and editors other than emacs.

I use org-mode as my GTD storage, work notes (bug tracking, project notes and planning, log book, run book), taking minutes for a board I am on, and consulting records. It is flexible enough to provide a framework that can be customized to allow many uses. I don't intend this to be a sales pitch, but am just a really happy customer :-).

Sidelining

I am currently looking for some sideline contracting positions for about 5-10 hours a week, remote and off hours. See my consulting link for more information.

I have experience with Perl, system administration, security administration, web administration, and other general system maintenance on many types of Unix. I have administered solo small (20-50 machine) Unix shops to working as part of a team in mid to large (100-500+ machine) size shops.

I am amazed, but I am past my 20 year mark at being paid for this type of work.

If interested, please contact me at consulting<at>wightmanfam<dot>org. Note: the address url is tagged, and will change over time as it is discovered by spammers. The displayed address will work for the forseeable future.

Disclaimer

Contrary to some search results, I do not have a livejournal profile. That midlifexis is an unfortunate name collision, and appears to be quite a different person. The only valid location for this moniker is here on perlmonks This moniker is valid on sites listed in my Other Personal Links section.
